Personalized Joomla!® Training

The fastest way to learn Joomla! is to have someone guide you through the processes you need to know and perform.

Problem: Online recorded trainings can be time consuming

Joomla isn't hard. Yet it can be daunting without some clear instruction and foundation. Sure, there are tons of free sources to learn Joomla on the web; youtube and tons of articles written by thousands of people. These are great resources if you already know what you need to learn.

There are also paid sources to learn Joomla like OSTraining, Lynda.com and buildajoomlawebsite.com - all of which are excellent!

The problem is that you have to watch a lot of videos and read a lot of articles to find the information you are looking for - and if you don't have a lot of time or you have specific issues you need to resolve, it isn't the fastest way to learn Joomla the way you want or the same way your site needs to function.

Solution: Personalized, individual Joomla training gets you where you need to be faster

If you want to learn Joomla, it does take time...& time is money...so why not make the best use of your time and money by getting personalized individual Joomla training. Learn Joomla the way you need to learn Joomla. Learn only what you need to know and not what you don't.

The beauty of Joomla is that you can edit your own website

Joomla is easy to manage when you have the basics of Joomla learned and practiced. Yet, when you don't know it can be frustrating and overwhelming. So get empowered.

If your webmaster didn't teach you anything, you can still learn Joomla and be empowered.

If your webmaster disappeared, you can still learn Joomla and be empowered.

If you don't yet have a website, pick someone to help you with a site that will also train you to use Joomla.

You will learn Joomla basics, advanced stuff, foundation, maintenance and Joomla guidelines. We can possibly fix things on your site at the same time. You would have a list ready prior to the training session.*

How Joomla is set up - categories, articles, menus, modules, extensions, template basics

How to use common components that will make your life easier regarding backup, content editing and security

Address common issues like code stripping, media management, rules around images like resizing, optimizing, and naming

Working your content

Working with modules

Customized Training

You have your list and we go over it together. Must submit list in advance. I'm not going to build a site as part of customized training.

What training does not include:

Template building or customizing

Extension building or customizing - hacking

Complex extension configuration

These types of items you probably would do best to hire someone to do for you or do the time and subscribe to lynda.com.

Training is geared toward Joomla Newbies to get the basics of Joomla quickly and build their knowledge independently or with a JUG from there.

*30 mile radius for live training. Travel time is billable.
